So Prince is dead. And with the current media-driven hysteria being the boogeyman (boogeypersons?) of transgenders in bathrooms, the overlap and juxtaposition this, and of people mourning his loss, creates a sort of absurd, but beautiful music.

It’s not the first time this has happened, but it’s definitely the most ironic. A few years ago, in a fit of frustration at stupid crap being posted on Facebook, I created the following image, from clip art I found on Google images:

Today, I find the thing popping up in my news feed, with 30k shares including the one that brought it to my attention, off a Facebook page about paganism. The image quality was so degraded that they apparently didn’t notice the fake URL at the bottom, which reads:

“Seriously Dude This Isnt The Bronze Age We Have Science And Computers And Shit.com”

So much irony I wouldn’t be surprised if I got a nosebleed.

Seriously, people. Your watermarks are bad and you should feel bad.

Thanks to FLX from the SA Forums for this info.

I know Failbook, and the rest of the “Cheez Burger Network”, is the taint of the Internet. But this is damn funny nonetheless.

Occasionally, when I’m not trolling people on my friends list (and people on my friends’ friends lists), there’s a decent conversation. So I wanted to see about archiving these conversations, otherwise they’d get lost in the stream. If this turns into a big pain in the ass, I probably won’t do it. So far though, it’s only a few key strokes and mouse flicks to anonymize the participants; I’m not going to assume by default that they’d be happy with me posting their real names/etc.

• I hate this Mac mouse. You have to have a deathgrip on it to right click, and half of the time the trackball doesn't move a webpage. #
• Where the hell is the volume/mute button on Mac OS? Argg… nevermind, found it. #

• DeviantArt.com annoys the crap out of me. Simple search for "Facebook icon" returns mostly Naruto drawings and pics of some fat goth chick. #
• Who is this #Trance person calling himself "Phrost? I've probably been using this handle since you were in diapers. http://ow.ly/2byyT #
